The Brazilians remain captive of the 'mongrel complex' and for that reason they accept any crap that is imposed on them, without reacting. It's almost impossible to eradicate such complex because it's deeply rooted in the DNA of the unfortunate Brazilians.

Os brasileiros continuam cativos do 'complexo de vira-lata' e por isso aceitam, sem reagir, qualquer porcaria que lhes são impostas! Tal complexo está enraizado no DNA do brasileiro e por isso é dificil ser erradicado. Para piorar as coisas os corruptos sabem disso! Leram NR!

Waiting for Twitter to pretend they're not at fault, and to scapegoat either Russia or China with absolutely no proof. Sell $TWTR stock!! Would you buy an alarm system that failed half your neighborhood? What if they put declaration of war by Trump against China. They could have. More reason why there should be no Donald Trump tweets ever.

Security experts comment on high-profile Bitcoin Twitter hack - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web.

Factbox: Major hacks of social media platformsThe hack of Twitter on Wednesday that compromised the accounts of prominent people including U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden, reality TV star Kim Kardashian and former U.S. President Barack Obama was one of the most dramatic of the social media era. Lets do online voting by mail what can possibly go wrong And Twitter is blacklisting at their own discretion. Very nice propaganda tool. Hax, they’re probably 9 year olds just like how they hack in Call of Duty.
